First couple of days with the D500

coastalconn · Jun 17, 2016

Wow I love this camera already. I have never used a camera with such deadly AF. The only time it seems to miss is if user error is involved. The buffer is incredible for my Osprey sequences and I get so many wing positions to choose from. The only downside is I end up with so many sharp files it takes much longer to cull them. I haven't had the best of light to work with yet. Thanks for looking and comments welcome...

These are with a borrowed Tamron 150-600
1 This one was heavily shaded and I was only at 1/250th sec. I forgot how good the VC is..

Looks like it still has pretty decent shadow recovery despite being how it's being measured in a lab.

nice man! Congrats on the new body. I see that Tamron has been sharing their article about you again recently

Nice shots like the first one the best

Beautiful shots. I think this is a good example of it's not the camera(if you know what I mean). Although I'm sure it helps.

Amazing! #5 and #6 are particularly great catches.

Peeb · Jun 17, 2016

Great captures!

FITBMX · Jun 17, 2016

Man those are great! Glad the camera is working out so well for you!!!

I guess we don't need to know if you approve of it :trink39:

D500? Is that a Nikon or a canon?

Awesome shots there with it.
I nearly bought one the other week. The FPS was so seductive.

SquarePeg · Jun 17, 2016

Wow that first shot is killer! (poor bunny) and love #5.

jcdeboever · Jun 17, 2016

I haven't had the chance to shoot it in a lab yet. Does something bad happen in a lab? I only know it is one kick ass camera out in the marshes, and fields and all the other places I've used it

Thanks! They have published 2 separate ones in the enewsletter and the one on Steve's Digicams. I have a theory that they are replacing the 150-600 very soon. There was a rumor a few months back about it. Then there was the crazy "dented box" deal last month for $679 and then they wanted to do the two new articles about it. I think they are trying to clear it out. No one I talked to at Tamron would confirm it, so its all just my speculation.
